Associate Teacher

Associate teachers collaborate with co-Teachers to plan emergent curriculum based on observations, create nurturing learning environments for children aged 0-5, and document children's learning through various methods. Responsibilities also include planning and creating an environment that fosters inquiry, managing classroom procedures, and building respectful relationships with families.

A child development associate certification is the minimum requirement for infant, toddler, or two classrooms, although a bachelor's degree is preferred; a minimum of three years of professional teaching experience in an early childhood setting is preferred. Candidates must be able to lift up to 40 lbs regularly and show professionalism, integrity, and a willingness to take risks.
